	Kris Jenner (Biography)

	What does it take to manage the career, life and schedule of “The World's Greatest Athlete” - and all of their kids? “Be organized, stay focused, have a good sense of humor and, by all means, know when it's time to take a romantic getaway with my husband.” That's how Kris Jenner manages a life with Bruce Jenner that is personal, professional -- and always a challenge. Kris is a perfect match for Bruce's “do it all and do it well” philosophy. And if her “how to manage life” rules sound like a CEO's credo, that's because much of her life is her business. Parents and business partners, Kris and Bruce balance their time between kids, carpools, and corporate meetings, where the two of them share responsibility for a variety of professional pursuits. Kris works with Bruce for their company 8634 inc. as Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. She is President of Jenner Communications and directs the marketing, coordination and production of Bruce's speeches and appearances. She also takes on consulting other clients such as NBA Basketball greats and other Olympic stars and sports figures on appearances, management, marketing and endorsements. As if that isn't enough, Kris still finds room in her heart to reach out to others. She is an Honorary Trustee for the Children's Hope Foundation and serves on the Committee for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Kris serves on the board of The Dream Foundation, an organization that grants wishes to terminally ill adults, and C.O.A.C.H. for Kids, a mobile medical unit that provides quality health care to under privileged families throughout Los Angeles . As a mother of six children, Kris was inducted into the “Healthy Baby Hall of Fame” by the March of Dimes Foundation and the Florida Department of Citrus (FDOC) for helping to educate women about the role of orange juice during and before pregnancy in helping to fight certain types of birth defects. Today, Kris and her husband Bruce are perhaps best known for launching their own enormously successful infomercial series entitled “SuperFit with Bruce and Kris Jenner.” Their shows feature health and fitness products such as “SuperStep”, “StairClimber Plus,” “Minimax,” “PowerWalk Plus,” “Minimax Plus,” “PowerTrainer,””Zero-G Strider” and the “Jennerator”. Their latest effort is called "SlimFusion" which will be released in the Winter for Guthy Renker. The shows can be seen in over 60 countries worldwide and in 20 different languages. Kris has appeared on many television shows, including “Live with Regis and Kathie Lee,” “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous,” “Vicki!,” “Body by Jake,” NBC's “Hosted By,” “The John and Leeza Show”, “Home and Family” “Caryl and Marilyn, Real Friends” to name a few. She was also the Family Correspondent for “The Mike & Maty Show” on ABC/DISNEY. She has been interviewed by Barbara Walters on ABC's 20/20 and interviewed by Larry King on the “Larry King Live” show numerous times. Kris has been a presenter on several televised award shows such as the NIMA Awards in Las Vegas and the prestigious Victor Award Show. She was the Los Angeles correspondent for the 1998 Academy Award Show covering the celebrity post parties for Dick Clark Productions and ABC. Kris and Bruce together have done several videos including “Women's Self Defense and Fitness Program” and appear in the video series, “Let's Play Sports.” Together they have produced a number of exercise videos that compliment their infomercial series. Because sports plays such an important role in Kris' life and career, she is a member of the Women's Sports Foundation. Kris has been featured in many magazines including People and IN STYLE, and the covers of American Fitness Magazine, Beverly Hills Life and Palm Springs Life . A gourmet cook, expert hostess and party coordinator, Kris shares some of her culinary secrets in Robin Leach's coffee table book, Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous Cookbook, which highlights “The Most Extraordinary People in the World.” Corporate and on-air responsibilities are almost as demanding and difficult as raising six children. At home she's mom, carpool driver, soccer coach, Brownie Troop leader, counselor, chef, organizer and scheduling director. In between homework, horseback riding lessons, ice skating and basketball, Kris directs Bruce's diverse and expanding career. “I do it all because it has to get done,” says Kris. “The kids, Bruce, his career and our joint projects are all important parts of my life.” Kris enjoys the challenges that she eagerly tackles on a daily basis. Kris was born in San Diego , California and was raised in the communities of University City and La Jolla . In high school she was a cheerleader and excelled in track and field. She was an avid water-skier and motorcycle enthusiast. Kris went on to join the flight attendants at American Airlines where she traveled the world. Today, when she's not busy working, she can be found out on the golf course working on her game, working out at the gym or enjoying her favorite sport, snow skiing. Kris is eager for the next challenge, and is always ready to try something new to add to an already full and versatile lifestyle. Kris resides in Lake Sherwood , California with her husband, Bruce, and their six children Kourtney, Kimberly, Khloe, Robert, Kendall and Kylie.
